The father, old man Barney, had two brothers, Needham and Thomas; I do not know what became of Thomas. Needham Watson married and had a family—at least, one son, named Wickham, who lived in the Temperance Hill neighborhood. Wickham married and had a family, how many is unknown ; one son, named Kerigan—what became of him is unknown; he was not remarkable for his beauty ; if there had been such a club as an "Ugly Club," he would have stood a fair chance to have been its president. Wickham Watson was a remarkable man physically, in respect to which the writer will say nothing. ;

!NOTE:I base this marriage (between Needham Watson and Miss Deer) on the 1824 Equity record pertaining to the John Smith (d 1802) estate. Among the heirs named were: Barnabas Watson, John Deer, James Deer, Samuel Deer, Needham Watson, Greenwood Watson, Green Watson, Lany Watson, Mary Johnson and Isham Watson.

My best guess it that the other Watsons (besides Barnabas and Isham) were heirs of a deceased Deer daughter of Elizabeth Smith Deer Watson;
